the different guides here should be plenty of help
here is something i copy'd from this site at one poit
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".
BTW the above is based on using XDArit version 1.0 which can be download from the software section at:
http://www.yorch.net and a PCI USB 3-One Travel Flash reader P/N FPT-D bought at Fry's.

The 4.01.00 ENG version is here ftp://tmobile:[email protected]:21 ..
but be careful as it contains the upgrade for RSU and I 'm not sure
it supports 900/1800 or not since it's TMO upgrade.
If your device has no Radio problems (GSM),
my advice would be to down load the file, use Winzip or WinRAR to
extract the NK.nbf file which the ROM upgrade, put it on SD card and flash your XDA using the bootloader.
PS: if you are sure that your network is 1800 MHz then do NOT use R6.24 for RSU upgrade.
Good luck

anyway i would get a sdcard and a sdcard reader the price is not all that high for any of them
Hi m8,
Thanks alot for all the information you have given me, I have a 256mb sd card and a card reader in my pc, so i should be ok there....
Which rom would you use or have if you were going to put pc2003 on your xda m8???
Thanks alto
zetex
not sure prob the latest 4.01.00 ENG
and be very sure that it were only the rom and not the
radiostack i were upgrading since i seem to recall that 4.01 is US gsm
but i'm not sure i'm upgrading untill i get more tired of messing with 2002 and what applications i like
then i can complain more about the applications which i really really love and need but dont work with 2003
plus people still report issues with 2003 deleting their sdcard for no reason
so if you give it a go be sure to not have infomation on your sdcard which you dont have back'd up so you can get them back if it mess up
Hi m8,

on a later date it will definately be an upgrade as this is still a test version i am using.
not sure about the UK ? as i am new in here myself. look for another thread in this same forum for "looking for testers for a.30.17 att wireless" or something like that read thru and u will see..
as fort me i am using that test versionis much better than the cooked 4.00.5 i was using earlier
alrite mate use vA.30.07 AT&T test rom newest out and its bluddy brill works like a dream cant wait to get the propper update should be cool
its very fast and seems extreamly stable v4.01.00 is stable but is soo slow and seems to make tomtom 2 run slowly as in takes about 3 minutes to start up ect...
get the vA.30.07 rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5492&start=25
worth getting imo

On your xda you have 2 things,
the rom, thats your operation system, now pocketpc 2002, you wanted to update it to windows mobile 2003.
And you have the radio rom, this is the "operation system" for your cell phone part of your xda.
If you update to A.30.07, the windows mobile 2003 beta, you leave your radio rom in tact, so you can continue making calls
Also, watch out for those updates what are programs,
because the also update your radio rom,
better use a .nb1 file with xdatools
Hi,
reading with interest,
Zetec is asking most of my questions for me - but one that I'd like to add:
Does the ppc2003 upgrade allow you to control the phone and the pda volume separately (as per the xda II)?
Thanks

yes, I have one slide bar for the phone and one voor the os (music, alarms, etc)
yup dual volume controls also on v4.01.00 it has a tab called band showing 1900mhz or 900mhz this means you then have to loose 1800mhz (but can be brought back in bootloader) on the vA.30.07 there is no tab like this so in other words no need to go into bootloader so you wont loose your 1800mhz
so vA.30.07 is great for countries using 900/1800
gazzaman2k,
I updated the rom last night everything is working just fine, very nice and it runs very smoothly as well.
I have put Tom Tom 2.24 and that seem to work as well, and the speed is great
Just one question what gps driver is best to use because i'am only getting a couple of bars on the gps status???
Also on the phone side i'am getting on my desktop an AT&T WIRELESS tab??? is that right...
And finally what can i use for closing programs from the desktop, making sure they close by tapping the X in the courner of the screen. Because when i close a program they still remain in the programs running under memory tab...
please let em know
Thanks alot
Zetex

att wireless in today... u seeing it because this rom is from them and they force it in there, no biggie go to the today - items screen in the settings and uncheck it it will be gone,
as for the programs remaining in the memory that is how the OS has been for a while get aversion of POCKETNAV from Scott seligman woreks well to move around the OS and helps u close unwanted proggies
http://www.scottandmichelle.net/scott/cestuff.html
also the GPS thing isnot a driver issue it is WM2003 feature ( or drawback u may call it) that the signal meter is poor... it is only the display that is poor the signal strength when u see one single dot is about 40% (i tried the trial version of ipdashboard which will tell u in numbers what the strenght is) so just live with it....
hope it answers most of the ?'s
yeah windowsCE have always mixed the alt tab kind og closing with normal closing i asume that it's to make loading faster if you often use the same stuff
it's a good custom to force programs down once in awhile because if you played quake 1 or 2 and then pacman and the deside to listen to mp3 it's going to sound crack smack and pop
Thanks alot for all you help, you have all been very helpful and i now have a xda1 with wm2003 test rom on it....
oh and not forgetting voice comand, very nice app
just one thing i have notice the radio i have installed is 4.20 could i put 4.21 on it and if so how..
Also when i press the volume button on the side and in some apps the box for highlighting a feature or missing but the function works as if its there... is this just because its a test rom???
Thanks once again, i'am now very much enjoying my xda because of people on this board..
Thanks
Zetex
Zetex, glad to hear the upgrade went succesfully!
Did you use the SD card method described earlier in this thread?
Is your UK 02 phone the version with the 32Meg Rom or the 64?
If it is the 64, does anyone know if the beta ROM fits into the 32 Meg version.
Any news as to whether the final version has come out yet?
Thanks

Hi, can anybody help me to find latest ROM for my Wiza100 pocket pc?
It looks exactly like Cingular 8125 but with a little different keyboard layout and sold as vodafone mobile.
I tried to install the ROM from Cingular 8125 and its all work fine except the secondary keys at the flip out keyboard.
If any body could help me I would really appreciate it.

Chico,
Justin is correct, the Wiza100 & Wiza200 are all the same with only minor cosmetic differences. I see that you are new here so I'm going to politely suggest that you spend some time reading the forums and searching for the information you seek.
I don't know what the layout of the secondary keys is on your Wiza100 but I have a Cingular 8125 branded Wiza100 and have found that all WWE Roms correctly map my secondary keys. If you search the forum, you will find how to change the mapping of those keys.
You will find that other members here are very willing to help you but their patience is limited by your willingness to read and search the forums before starting a new thread that:
Has a vague title, I would suggest changing the thread title to something more indicative of your issue.
Asks for information that is already covered several time in the forum.
Attacks or insults someone who has a greater knowledge of these devices than you.
Good Luck in your Search for "Symbol Secondary Key Remapping".
(If you didn't get the hint then please don't contact me for more).
BTW, this isn't texting or IMing so if you want to be taken seriously don't type like it is.
Hi all
I am so happy I have found you ! I have had the MDA PRO for 3-4 years now and I just realized (reading this forum) that I can do a lot more with my PDA and I am a lot behind with the software and drivers !
Here is what I am running now:
PDA: T-Mobile MDA Pro
ROM version: 1.30.77 WWE
Rom date: 02/20/06
Radio Version: 1.09.00
Protocol Version: 42.42.P8
Ext Rom: ...blank !!! (nothing there)
I am running Vista 64 and my computers can not see the PDA any more (this is why I started searching and I finally found you).
Could you please help me with the following:
1 How do I solve the Vista64 to PDA connectivity ? The computer can't find the driver.
2. How do I upgrade the drivers to see a 16GB SD card (Kingston)
3. How do I upgrade the wireless drivers to see the 802.11g networks ?
4. What can I do to see DivX movies on my PDA ? Do I need to upate my VGA drivers to see 640x480 ?
5. What version of WM shoul I try to upgrade to ? Could you please tell me if I shoud try this on Vista64 or XP32 ? Are there any problems with this ?
Please send me the links to articles on this forum or somewhere else, no need to explain everything again here.
I would prefer to solve 1-4 without upgrading my ROM software, 5 is not a major concern for me.
Thank you

Go to first new post ROMs for HTC Universal, by Cotulla is the greatest rom there is allowing you double the space on your universal which really gives you loads of potential, all that you need is either in universal mobile 6 as some of the programs registry tweaks and some programs such as advanced config, ill round up what i can later tonight to help more in depth

Welcome to the forum
If you want to solve number 2 & 3 you have to reflash your ROM, (At least I don´t know another way to do this without reflashing)
If you decide to do that please READ the Wiki:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Good luck,

What are the chances to brick the phone with this ?
I am running vista 64 and ...as stated above I have problems. I still have the old WinXP 32 laptop that I can use for this but if there is a Vista 64 solution I would go with that if it is safe.

You´ll be fine as long as you follow the instructions
I have reflashed since I have my Universal (2005) like 50 times and all is ok!
Good luck,
Vista conectivity solved
So far by reading the docs I managed to make my PDA visible in Windows x64 wich is excellent
You are great guys !
Sorry, I have been searchin for an answer, but couldnt find any.
The question is, in som threads i see people mentioning radio and it's version.
What exactly do they mean and where do you get other versions?
Regards..
when people speak of the radio, they mean the driver on the telephone that operates the built-in GPRS Radio. This is the radio that allows the phone to connect to a mobile phone network so you can call. (and use data connections)
If a new version of the radio is released, it can be flashed on your phone, using RUU. Read the threads in the ROM Development forum. If you can't understand what's posted there, I advise you not to try it out. Just read the info that's there, get into it a bit and then start tinkering. If you then find yourself in trouble, you can always turn to us - being the other users who have tested and tried abovementioned methods.
Thank you for fast answer=). But, the radio can get improved with firmware? such as better signal strength? One more question, UC, what's UC? " UC Support " in roms?
Radio - yes, sometimes it can improve. After all that's the whole use of updates.
UC = User customization. It means you can specify which CAB files should be installed when you hard-reset or flash your phone. A ROM must be UC compatible for it to work. Search for User customization on XDA to find the original topic.
First of all I would like thank Skywing for writing this GPS Application
Gateway for the xv6800 phone with stock rom or upgraded MR1 rom..
This thread is to show my thanks and to help new ppl like myself
find this app easer.. It took me about haft a day searching two forums
just to find what I was looking for .. so I hope this will help other
new ppl find what they are looking for much easer ..
Again this application was written by “Skywing” and someone wrote
the easy install CAB for his app .. also like thank “gc14“ for writing
the tutorial ..
This Application aGPS aka GPS Server aka (Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab)
Will allow your 100% stock rom or MR1 rom on your xv6800 Phone
to access GPS signal via 3rd party application e.g. MS Live search, Google maps etc..
without the need to unlock the phone or do anything to the phone other than
simply loading the GPSServer.cab file ..
For step-by-step install info. go to: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
To download the CAB go to: http://rapidshare.com/files/165096506/Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab
Show your thanks to Skywing, go to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387
I have personal testing this code on my xv6800 with stock ROM, then I
upgraded to the MR1 ROM from HTC for the xv6800 with WM 6.1 and
install the GPSServer.cab and it works perfect for both ROMs without
doing any unlocking or running anything else other then just the GPSServer.cab
BTW for anyone with the stock ROM running WM 6.0 and would like to
upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 .. you can download the MR1 ROM direly
from HTC
Again this is the, Verizon XV6800 ROM MR1
Release Date: 2008-08-23
go to: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=82&cat=2&dl_id=99
If this link does not work you may need to set your “country” first, (top right of the page “select country” set to “United States”
wow .. update: also found out that gc14 made the CAB file as well..
Thanks again gc14
gc14 post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2625473&postcount=113
Thanks! It works very good with Google Maps
Is your WIFI works with WM6.1? After I installed MR1, my WIFI is not working anymore. I hope you might be able to help me.
TIA
to all that created this thank you, works flawless on the stock mr2 rom
can't get it to work..
Hi all! I followed this method a while back and had Google maps working great for quite some time! This past weekend I tried to use it with GPS and it couldn't find any satellites. I figured it was maybe too much cloud cover or other interference related to my location. Anyhow, yesterday I updated my XV6800 to MR2, installed the latest Google maps (3.0.0.12) and still cannot get it to find any satellites. after playing with the COM ports and location setting (currently COM4 and Loc ON) without success I installed GPS Toggle, which also cannot find any satellites.
Anyone have any suggestions to get this working again? Does this even work with MR2? I'd be happy to go back to MR1, though MR2 seems to be a little smoother and faster.
Thanks!

thanks drewcam888. I'll check it out this afternoon and let you know how I make out.
BTW, I was looking around my device and I found a different version of gpsapi.dll (hidden) in the Windows directory. I'm thinking this may be the problem. It won't let me modify it though, as it's a system file. I can view it using SKTools, but not modify it.
Can you recommend a file manager program that'll let me move / copy / replace system files?
Thanks!
You can't modify a rom file or one that is created by the rom itself. Or at least I don't know how
Hello,
I'm pretty new here and new to the XV6800. I have a rom version that I downloaded from htc site that under device info reads 3.57.605.1 I don't know what MR1 or MR2 is or is mine an MR3?? Also I have a Radio version of 3.37.75?? My question is can I install this to get GPS or AGPS working on my device? Do I have to install a different radio to get it working?
Thanks,
Chris

Read the thread for a while that drewcam8888 lists above "adapter program to ......" and then make sure you change the registry settings as it describes for Valhalla in the posts from the past couple of days. I believe I posted #627 which has the places to edit for Valhalla. Listen to what others say to make sure you have everything right.
mine failed around the same time but using a different set of cab files which had worked flawlessly on both previous installs of MR1 . Is this perhaps something from verizon?....Anyway having not installed from a wrar file before how do you install the valhalla cab when the redirects disconnect from the server?
I have a xv6800 and i got it last week, the person that i got it from updated the rom. a couple days ago i cleared the storage, which i guess is a hard reset, but i wanted to know if that resets my Rom
thanks
Tyve
resets to a fresh install of your current rom. It removes all none rom files.
so do i hav to re-hack the rom to use google maps?
i have no idea wut im doing,
thanks
Yes you do
dang, that sux. thanks a bunch
my ROM version is 3.57.605.2 does anyone know if that is hacked or not?
Not it is stock verizon MR2
ok, do u know an easy way to hack it, im only 14 and i suk at hacking it
